TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

SYMPTOM

SOLUTION

Sound a successive “DI” “DI” tone

1.Make sure that there is no other

   metal detector operating around. 

The LCD displays normal,but the
sensitivity is very low.

1.When turning on,there is metal near

   the search coil.
2.Let the search coil leave the ground,
   and then turn on the unit again.

Sound an irregular tone,or the
target identification cursor chatters.

1.Don’t use it indoors,because there

   is many metals there.
2.Make sure whether there is
   electromagnetic interference source,
   such as power lines,cables,

   electronic fences and so on.Keep

   away from these areas,or try to
   reduce the sensitivity.

The signal is unstable,and the
position of the target identification
cursor is changing.

1.Sweep at a different angle,in order 

to determine whether you can get a 

more stable signal.

2.If the target is buried deeply,you 

could try to increase the sensitivity or 

speed up the speed of sweeping the 

search coil,in order to get a more 

stable signal.

3.Maybe more than one metal targets 

buried there,try to increase the 

sensitivity or set different 

discrimination range to sweep.

4.Maybe you find a severe oxidation 

target,or the ground is serious 

magnetic,you should try to decrease 

the sensitivity.

Using PINPOINT,when the search
coil approaching the ground,the
unit will sound a tone.

1.The surface is severe magnetic,you

need to do the ground balance
adjustment,or you should press the
PINPOINT button again to reduce the
sensitivity.
2.There is large metals underground.

Using PINPOINT,when the search
coil approach the ground,the unit
will sound a tone.

1.The ground is serious magnetic,

need to adjust the balance.In the
position near the ground,touch the
PINPOINT button,to reduce the
sensitivity.
2.There is large metal under ground.
